The Methane, Alcohol, and Butane Energy Cycle Using Algae, Yeast, and Bacteria

This bioenergy cycle explores how microorganisms—algae, yeast, and bacteria—can work together to produce renewable fuels like methane, ethanol (alcohol), and butane. These biofuels can be created in a closed-loop system that recycles waste and maximizes energy extraction.
